A nonlinear finite element contact mechanics model of a helical gear pair was used to study the effect of intentional tooth profile modifications on durability of helical gear pairs. Both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) modifications were considered. A detailed parametric study was performed to quantify the changes in the contact and bending stresses as a function of tooth profile modification parameters as compared to an unmodified gear pair baseline. The combined influence of modification parameters and torque transmitted on the maximum stresses is described. Results indicate that both bending and contact stresses of a helical gear pair are increased significantly when 2D modifications are applied, potentially causing an underestimation of the actual stress values when the modifications are not included in stress calculations. When properly selected, 3D modifications cause significantly less stress increases.

The gear pair model with machining errors is constructed based on the software such as Pro/E and ANSYS, and in this basis, the influence analysis about the machining errors on the bearing capability is carried out. The analysis results show that the said influence varies with the increase of load, and however, the tooth profile modification would be more important compared with the machining errors.

The dynamic response of a helical gear pair system is investigated. A new dynamic model for a helical gear pair system, considering three-dimensional motion due to bearing deformation, is proposed. The proposed model considers the helix angle, gear pair center distance, transverse pressure angle, and the contact ratio as time-dependent variables, which are considered as constants in other models. In fact, three-dimensional motion due to bearing deformation will lead to the changes in a series of dynamic responses. The system equations of motion were obtained by applying Lagrange’s equation and the dynamic responses are computed by the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The time-varying dynamic displacements, helix angle, gear pair center distance, transverse pressure angle, and the contact ratio are investigated with bearing deformation, different radial bear stiffness, different axial bear stiffness, and gear eccentricity. The results show that, due to the time-varying effect, this new helical gear pair model provides more accurate dynamic responses than those previous models which are considered as constant. In the future, this study can provide some useful information for the time-varying dynamic design of a helical gear pair system.
